Control apparatus, method and computer program code for controlling indoor positioning transitions

A computer-implemented method for controlling indoor positioning transitions, comprising:

• in response to detecting that a mobile apparatus is in an unmapped indoor or outdoor location, commanding the mobile apparatus to suspend generation of sensor data for indoor positioning with one or more sensors of the mobile apparatus;
• in response to an invoke mechanism, checking whether the mobile apparatus is likely to enter an indoor location for which indoor signal map data exists;
• and
• if the checking indicates that the mobile apparatus is likely to enter the indoor location, commanding the mobile apparatus to start generating the sensor data for the indoor positioning with the one or more sensors, or else commanding the mobile apparatus to resume the suspension, and, in response to the invoke mechanism, performing the checking again.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer program code, which, when loaded into one or more processors and executed by the one or more processors, causes performance of a computer-implemented method for controlling indoor positioning transitions, comprising:

• in response to detecting that a mobile apparatus is in an unmapped indoor or outdoor location, commanding the mobile apparatus to suspend generation of sensor data for indoor positioning with one or more sensors of the mobile apparatus;
• in response to an invoke mechanism, checking whether the mobile apparatus is likely to enter an indoor location for which indoor signal map data exists;
• and
• if the checking indicates that the mobile apparatus is likely to enter the indoor location, commanding the mobile apparatus to start generating the sensor data for the indoor positioning with the one or more sensors, or else commanding the mobile apparatus to resume the suspension, and, in response to the invoke mechanism, performing the checking again.
